Lmao. Steel comes in millions of variations. And the cutting edge matters a lot too. HF bits are horrible. Use a couple times and throw away. Milwaukee can be used many times, easier to...

Those twist ends are no good for any kind of semi-precise depth work, only through-holes.
Obviously a forstener with a stop is best but if you only need to be vaguely precise, i.e. for holes you...

Harbor Freight does cheap out on a lot of things I agree. But we are talking about spade bits here. I highly doubt there will be a noticeable difference in performance compared to Milwaukee's.

That set got the hole a bit lower on the 7/8, but quite off center on the 1/2, and the size stamping is horribly inconsistent. Harbor Freight's quality control is terrible and that's just the stuff...

Even if they are the same quality steel with the same hardening treatment, the quality of work and finishing and quality control are definitely different. For example, look where the wire feed hole...
